A Mysterious Review of Presumed Puzzled by Parnell Hall. A Cora Felton, Puzzle Lady Mystery.
Review summary: This is an entertaining entry in this long-running series. As is typical with books in this series, there are several crossword and sudoku puzzles that act as clues to the solution of the crime. Not a great mystery in the grand scheme of things, but an enjoyable one nonetheless. (Click here for text of full review.)

Presumed Puzzled
Parnell Hall
A Cora Felton, Puzzle Lady Mystery
Minotaur Books (January 2016)
Publisher synopsis: A shocking crime of passion has Bakerhaven buzzing!
The Puzzle Lady gets more than she bargained for when she's hired to track down Paula Martindale's straying husband. She finds him, all right―hacked to pieces on his living room rug, while his blood-drenched wife haunts the crime scene clutching a butcher knife.
It's a tough spot for attractive young attorney Becky Baldwin. Paula is presumed innocent until proven guilty, but try to find one juror who's going to think so.
It's up to Cora to find the evidence to save the day. She has just two problems: She's a witness for the prosecution, and every bit of evidence she finds in Paula's favor, from crossword puzzles to Sudoku to alibi witnesses, tends to indicate that Cora herself is the killer!
